Em and Isa join Julie Tilsen in a conversation that focuses not only on the challenges of living beyond the gender binary, but also the liberatory possibilities that exist there as well. Some of the themes these two young people address are: the centrality of language; intersectionality; the effects of white supremacy, misogyny, and transphobia; and the meaning of community. This conversation is an invitation to join Isa, Em, and Julie to listen to and learn from trans youth in their own words. Adult College

In this video, viewers will enter into maximum security San Quentin State Prison to witness a group of inmates participate in their weekly support and skill building group. Co-facilitated by Adam Zagelbaum, Professor of Counseling at Sonoma State University and volunteer at San Quentin, as well as Charlie – an inmate at San Quentin, the group explores topics of shame, guilt, remorse, and worthiness. Group members are encouraged to openly, honestly, and directly communicate. Watch emotional self-disclosure with these men and the vulnerability they show as they work on healing themselves with the support of others. They learned to give feedback to others, and show an increased self-awareness as well as a better understanding of destructive patterns, habits, and beliefs that led them to prison. Viewers will be moved by the emotional disclosure of many of these inmates, their personal stories, and commitment to improving themselves.

This video aims to help students in human service professions better understand effective strategies in working with groups, develop increased empathy for the incarcerated, and recognize potential strengths and limitations of providing such services to incarcerated individuals within the confines of a prison setting.

The search for happiness is your key to greater success. Do you know what makes you happy and how to get more of it? Most of us have no idea what drives our internal joy triggers. In this course you will learn that happiness is concrete and achievable. More importantly, happiness has tremendous benefits for every area of our life.

Vanessa Van Edwards has cracked the code on happiness. She runs the Science of People, a human behavior research lab. After studying the underlying patterns that drive our behavior for 4 years, Vanessa has come up with a framework for happiness - and a system for applying the latest scientifically backed happiness principles to your own life. This class is designed to be watched over time. Just one lesson a day will keep you on track. Or feel free to binge watch all the lessons in one day! Re-watch the lessons whenever you need a refresher. Join Vanessa for this 10-day class, and you will be well on your way to developing a happier life. Specifically, you’ll learn how to:

Day 1: Train your brain to look for happiness patterns.
Day 2: Utilize your greatest talents and skills.
Day 3: Learn how playfulness leads to happiness.
Day 4: Maximize what makes you happy, minimize what doesn’t.
Day 5: Capitalize on positive experiences.
Day 6: Achieve happiness through giving & gratitude.
Day 7: Grow your happiness community.
Day 8: Cultivate your luck and let opportunities come to you.
Day 9: Find balance between nutrition, sleep & movement.
Day 10: Live to your fullest capacity.

Vanessa’s methods are based on exhaustive research and solid science. This course is based on a literature review of 246 happiness studies, an audit of happiness data from over 12,000 people, and 4 years of research. The metrics that justify her research are just as compelling. Research has found that 50% of our happiness is genetic and 10% is the result of our environment. That means 40% of our happiness is influenced by behavior and mindset. Vanessa will focus on the 40% that you can address, so you can get back on track with your life and your goals.

Don’t be a passive learner! Students who purchase the class will also receive Vanessa’s comprehensive workbook with over 90 pages of exercises, charts, graphs and challenges to keep you on track to becoming a happier person.
